Tom’s Hardware: 3D Printer Simulator could take the guesswork out of printing — Virtual 3D printer mirrors physical machine’s quirks, like stringing, supports multi-color printing. “The art of 3D printing is much more than just choosing a file and sending it to the printer. You have to take the time to understand the nuances of your machine and how to optimize settings both on the device […]

I tried the #Gridfinity 3d printed system to improve the mess on my drawers and now I understand why it was so successful. It is incredibly practical and extensible. I now only have to print labels for my little boxes. Love it! #3dprinters

The extruder operates at an angle because it is installed on the treadmill handles. The treadmill belt acts as the print bed and can move prints away […]
Quick Post #6: Bears Go Punk!
I've been pleasantly surprised by the uses around the house that I've found for the 3d printer my wife got for me last Christmas. This is about one such use. A couple of years back we saw some silhouettes of black bears in a yard while we were on vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains. I found patterns for some online and with plywood, jigsaw, and paint, we made a mama bear and two cubs. We lov

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign: 3D printers leave hidden ‘fingerprints’ that reveal part origins. “A new artificial intelligence system pinpoints the origin of 3D printed parts down to the specific machine that made them. The technology could allow manufacturers to monitor their suppliers and manage their supply chains, detecting early problems and verifying that suppliers are […]
Hark! The beta testing period for 2.1.3 is almost over! We’ve been cleaning up, revamping, and optimizing the motion system to achieve higher acceleration and fix longstanding annoyances. Your existing #RepRap machines and #3DPrinters will seem brand new, and your future builds will be extra extra.
Look at what I just printed folks.
Damn, those 3d printers are getting really advenced. :blobcateyes:
What I learned from my first few months with a Bambu Lab A1 3D printer, part 1 https://arstechni.ca/6Vsg #3dprinters #3Dprinting #bambulaba1 #Features #bambulab #bambu #Tech
Went back to a 0.4 nozzle tonight and in the process I bumped the bed out of alignment. This is the worst part about older #3dprinters. Even with mesh leveling firmware, it can only handle so much skew before you have to manually adjust the bed screws. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day spent re-leveling the bed.

I had to recalibrate my #Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra and it seems to be printing better now. I have a feeling the change temperature had something to do with why it went wonky. It's gotten much hotter out lately so that probably did it. I wish #3DPrinters weren't so finicky.
#Colorado - #Libraries and the ‘economy of sharing’
An ode to the palace of the people
By Kaylee Harter - Apr. 9, 2025
"Visit one of BPL’s #makerspaces, a feature that’s become a staple in many libraries, and you can use #3DPrinters, #looms, #LaserCutters, #ScreenPrinting equipment and more.
" 'It’s a collaborative learning environment,' Farnan says. 'We’re learning together. If you were to go into the makerspace today and ask, like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this,’ then they would say, ‘I don’t know how to do that, but let’s figure it out.’
" 'That is inherently resilient.'
"He recalls a blind artist who came in with a unique challenge: 'She wanted to be able to see her drawings.'
" 'They worked with her with 3D printers, with the laser cutters and that kind of thing, in order to transfer her drawings into dimensional objects, because they were abstractions, so that she could then see them with her fingers.'
"Despite the always expanding array of programming and services, the books themselves — and literacy for all ages — are ever important."

#WatertownMA - Watertown's "#LibraryOfThings" offers creative #community #workspace. Here's a look inside.
Story by Jordyn Jagolinzer
"The library in Watertown, Massachusetts is providing the tools and a space for people to get creative and learn new skills.
" 'A lot of libraries have started a 'library of things' collection, but they don't have necessarily a space to allow people to just make and create and build community,' Watertown Public Library director Kim Hewitt said. 'We have a big Hatch-maker space and that was one of the first in the area.'
"The 'Hatch' facility on Summer Street is right around the block from the main library. The workshop is stocked with tools, materials and expertise for everyone to learn in a venue that fosters #creativity.
"We have scraps of material to play around with, the #SewingMachines, or create something, #JewelryMaking. It doesn't have to be prescriptive. You can go there and see what appeals to you," Hewitt said.
"The #Hatchspace is a standout amongst similar programs in Massachusetts, and it just celebrated it's tenth birthday. It has #ButtonMakers, #LaserCutters, and even #3DPrinters.
"Talented expert volunteers are on hand to assist patrons with their projects, which is how Seth Deitch first started making things in the space.
" 'We're very lucky to have the people that we have who volunteer here. Many of them are extremely talented. Lots of people with advanced degrees,' Deitch said.
"Hatch also offers workshops that more and more people in the community are getting involved in.
" 'It's nice having a space for the entire community that's free to come to and work at,' Deitch said. 'Nowadays, people spend a lot of their time staring at screens, not enough working with their hands.'
"The best part is, anyone in the state can get in on the fun.
" 'As long as you're a #Massachusetts resident, you can get a library card at the #WatertownPubliclibrary,' said Ran Cronin, the library's access services supervisor.
"The library is hoping to expand the Hatch space. It also has one of the largest English language-learning programs, called #ProjectLiteracy, which serves 900 students per year."

Quick Post #5: A Utility for Converting .obj Files Created by Microsoft 3D Builder
There are several different file formats for specifying 3d objects (as Tannenbaum wrote, "The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." One such standard is the obj or .obj open format. By itself, the .obj file definition does not support coding surface shading properties in the .obj file,
